Self help books

[Ophilia]

Try "Meditation" by Marcus Aurelius. It's the best emotional management book that I'm reading. It will highly impact your view of everything.

This book has been suggested to me more times than I can count but I still haven't had time to read it.

I have come to the conclusion that to be a successful trader, mindset is very important also being able to handle all aspects in your life like discipline, anxiety, stress,.....is of the essence.
I wonder have you all read any sort of self help books that have ACTUALLY helped out?

Personally, I'd suggest Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. Outside of trading, 7 Habits is also very good. One note of caution, outcomes are directly linked to effort. These kind of books should be practiced, rather than just read.

u know... not at all. I also was thrilled about self help books, because had the same troubles with nervousness and anxiety, but I somehow managed to overcome these things on my own, facing the truth, not building castles in the air. it helped me.
i just dragged the focus from self-digging into self-improving by constant practicing, if we speak about trading, actually. daily chart monitoring helped me to distract and gradually I got some experience.

It is people like you who actually care about other people and give it genuine advice

I've really gotten a lot from "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg—it's all about building good habits. And "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman totally changed how I approach decisions.

Stoic philosophy can greatly help people who are facing a difficult time in their life!

I find "Trading for a Living" by Dr. Alexander Elder and "The Disciplined Trader" by Mark Douglas particularly useful. They offer valuable insights into trading psychology and discipline, which are crucial for consistent success in forex trading.

books cannot help with experiance. they can help with knowladge but experiance comes from losing! not even demo account can give you full experience.
